Prasit was co - founder of the Bangkok Post newspaper ( see also MacDonald 1949 ). This is his ( regrettably ) short autobiography . Besides having been the first manager of the Thammasat University's printing house, he was also a member of the Free Thai organization, and he was closely involved in the coup d'?tat Pridi Banomyong (whom he calls ‘my supreme guru') attempted with the help of other Free Thai members and parts of the navy, on 26 February 1949. The purpose of this so-called ‘Grand Palace Coup', named after the plotters' chose to start it with capturing the Grand Palace , was to wrestle power from the military and Phibun Songkhram, respectively. However, the coup was poorly executed, crushed by Sarit Thanarat, and Pridi went into exile, first in China and then in France , never to set foot on Thai soil again until he died in 1983.

Prasit himself was almost killed by the the police: “Shots came from the boat. Two bullets hit Khun Tavi [Dr. Tavi Tavedhikul, former Minister of Commerce and manager of the Asia Bank, who had tried to talk Pridi out of the coup]—one in the throat and the other in the chest. Our plan to flee Thailand ended in disaster. The policeman who fired and hit Khun Tavi was Sgt Muan. Also in the boat with him were Pol Capt Tawsak Yomnak, an acquaintance of mine, and several other Special Branch police officers. As soon as the shooting started, my brothers and the others jumped into the klong . I stayed with Khun Tavi, sponging the blood flowing from his throat with my pha kaoma . But then Sgt Muan fired another two rounds into Tavi, and he was dead. Sgt Muan pointed his carbine at my temple. I thought my end had come. But when he pulled the trigger, nothing happened. His cartridge was empty. I could hardly believe I was still alive, saved by a miracle. Sgt Muan reloaded, and took aim again. But at that point, Capt Tawsak ordered him to lower his carbine. So my end had not come after all” (p. 96f.). Instead, he spent almost nine years in prison.
